Various studies of the last months !

I've been really focusing on getting an efficient painting method, and being more comfortable with realisitic lighting. My second goals are : mastering shape design, and overall finally being good with cityscapes/perspective/buildings which I have been avoiding for way too long ! Those are sometimes quick warmups sometimes 4 hours long, and Im learning a lot :) If you want to improve I really recommend getting into studies more with a clear goal in mind. I have been doing these along with my friends @lucocurtis & Edwige, who want to push their skills further as well !

Hose, Doublet and Rock of Elector Moritz von Sachsen, 1545-1550

Starting the new year with one of the most expensive and glorious extant suits of the 16th century: this golden silk dress of Elector Moritz.

Made just a couple of years before he died in battle, this suit features tight fitting hose made of leather, silk and velvet, a silk doublet with pinked sleeves, and a Rock/Gown made of golden silk and black velvet - the colours of Saxony. The silhouette of this suit is typical for the mid 16th century: low waist, broad shoulders. That´s also why so many men of that period look like Henry VIII - they all shared the same fashion. The suit is currently exhibited at the Rüstkammer in Dresden, Germany.
